Two ancient North American structures collapsed within just nine days of one another — with one native tribe warning the “bad omen” points to impending doom.
The Double Arch, a massive geological feature that draws thousands of tourists to Utah’s Glen Canyon National Recreation Area each year, spontaneously crumbled Wednesday, the National Parks Service said.
The arch, also known as the Hole in the Roof and the Toilet Bowl, was 190 million years old.

Less than two weeks earlier, a pyramid at the Ihuatzio Archaeological Zone in the Mexican state of Michoacán partially buckled under intense rain.
The bricks on the roughly 1,100-year-old pyramid — a significant piece of the Purépecha people’s histroy — broke apart from the central part of the southern facade and spilled onto the grass.
